Social Media Nut & Bolts Workshop presented by the San Diego Press Club

What’s the deal with hashtags? And did you know that if you begin a tweet with @, not everyone will see it? At this workshop, we’ll take you through the basics of 3 major social media platforms (Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram), offering tips for how to maximize the views and engagement for each post you make. We’ll also provide a real story for you to share, post, and tweet during the seminar.
